CURRENT PROJECT
Belarus Energy Efficiency Survey Project
2008 – present
Supported with funds from IFC
The main goal of the project is to assess the current market for energy efficiency (EE) financing in Belarus and to raise awareness among local financial institutions (FIs), small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and policy makers about existing opportunities for energy efficiency financing in the country. Similar surveys have been conducted in Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia.
By identifying best practices in SME EE and finance, the survey will also provide benchmarks with other countries and might lead to a more comprehensive program to increase EE in Belarus and the region.
